Important Questions on Reactivity series of metals
Give reason:
Sodium is more reactive than aluminium.

Which of the following pairs will give displacement reactions?

Name one metal which displaces silver from silver nitrate solution. (Copper / Lead)

Copper is more reactive than zinc, aluminium and iron. Therefore it displaces zinc, aluminium and iron metals from their salt solutions.

Match the following:
1. Potassium | a. Caustic soda |
2. Platinum | b. Adsorption |
3. Alkalis | c. Least reactive |
4. Occlusion | d. Halides |
5. Hydrogen bromide | e. Most reactive |
